Uptown Hotel.

Some of the foremost friends of the
uptown hotel project are now out OF
town, but they will return early in
September, and then they should go to
work with the resolve that the early
spring of 1888 shall see the corner
stone of the building laid. There has
already been too much talk about this
matter. Our people, though slow to
move, once in motion advance with un-
conquerable steadlness. Witness the
history of Mozart Hall, of Byrd-Street
station, Of our new street railways, Of
our electric light, of our City Hall, of
our park concerts. Each and all were
preceded by deluges of talk. When
they ceased the skies cleared and work
began, and the work bore the expected
fruits. Let our people now resolve to
have fine uptown hotel ; something
picturesque and nicely furnished; not
necessarily a large house, but first class
in locality, as well rs in appointments.
Is it possible that we've who are
making such large investments West
and South-haven't the pluck and capi-
tai to build such house ?
Perish the thought.

THE MONUMENT DAY.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER TIE 25TH, FL
UALLY DECIDED on.
Neetirg Of the Executive Committee
Charged with Arranging for the
Ceremonies.

A meeting of the executive or gene
raj committee of. Lee Camp, Confede-
rate Veterans, recently appointed and
charged with the duty Of arranging
and conducting the ceremonies incl
dent to the dedication of the Lee mon
ument site, was held at the Governors
office Yesterday in conference with
members Of the Lee Monument Asso-
citation.
ACTION.
Their most important action was in
determining to dedicate the grounds
and Law the corner stone on Tuesday,
October 25th.
1t was desirable that these ceremo-
nies should take place on Wednesday,
the 26tb. but that is election-day IN
Maryland, and thousand Marylanders
WHO would otherwise attend could not
be here at that time. So it was decided
that the 25th would be the next best
day, though the fair people preferred
Friday.
THE CROWD.
The monument ceremonies will bring
the crowd to Richmond. IL only re-
mains for the Agricultural Society to
offer such attractions as will keep them
here the remainder of the week.
1t was agreed that in addition to
formally dedicating the grounds the
corner. stone should be laid, and the
Grand Lodge of Virginia Masons will
be asked to perform that duty. This,
it is hoped, will add a grand Masonic
and Templar feature to the turn out OF
the active and veteran soldiery, the pa
rade of the fire companies. &c.
THE PROGRAMME.
A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee General John II. Cooke, chair
msn) and the chairman of each OF the
other committees appointed 10y the
Camp will be held in the rooms Of the
Chamber of Commerce Monday night
next for the purpose of arranging q
programme and calculating how much
money will be needed.
Thousands of dollars will bc neces
sary. Much OF this will have to come
from the private purses of public
spirited citizens and some from the
city Of Richmond.
THE CITY APPROPRIATED $4,000.
The official record shovst that the city
of Richmond appropriated $4,000 TO
wards the expenses OF the Yorktown
Centennial celebration in 1881. The
money was spent in decorating thu
streets, in entertaining distinguished
guests, &c, and no complaint was eve
heard that the Council exceeded IL
powers, or that the money was Him
vested.
Richmond ought to be willing to dc
more for herself and the Lee monumen
than she did for Yorktown.
OF course whatever money the cit
may appropriate ought to be expended
under the direction of the Council ant

NOTIN PROPEH MIND.
ET. James II. Tanners Will Set
Aside.

The contested-will case OF James II.
Tanner was tried i'll the Chaucery
Court yesterday. The will, written Ill
March, 1885, bequeathed the entire
property, valued at $1,000, TO the two
Youngest children, cutting on Mrs. Tan
ncr and several children. The will was
attacked on the ground that Mr.. Tan
ner was not in his proper mind when
the instrument (written wholly in his
own handwriting was signed. There
was no question about the writing.
The jury, whose names have been
published III the DispGtch, after hear
ing the testimony Of the witnesses,
nearly all of whom were OF the imme-
diatc family, brought in a verdict sls-
tanning the contestants and setting the
will aside. The Court thereupon ap.
pointed Mr.. j. II. Haryic, soa-in-law
of deceased, administrator Of the es-
tate. MAJOR A. Il. Courtney represented
the contestants, and Messrs. $. S. p.
Pate son and W. }. Leake the executors

When Mr.. A. n. BrowneIl, in 1885,
retired from the position OF weigh
master OF live stock he was short in his
accounts with the State about 500.
Suit was brought in the City Circuit
Court against him and his surety, MIR.
J. 8. Dodson, and judgment recovered
for the amount.
When the Sheriff went 10 collect tho
money from Mr.. Dodson he offered
coupons, which were refused, because,
as the Sheriff said, they might not DO
genuine.
Mr.. Dodson then produced batch
OF bonds, and offered to take the cou-
pons from them.
The Sheriff referred the matter to
Judge Wexford, and he directed that
the coupons be refused, basing his &C.
ton on a decision rendered in trea-
eurer's case by the United States Court,
to the effect that when treasurer col
lccted money he could not pay the
State except in currency.
Mr.. Dodson declined to pay the
money, and the Sheriff levied on two
omnibuses, a phaeton. buggy, and
eight sets OF harness, and advertised
them TO be sold at the stable on Ross
street yesterday at II NJ. to satisfy the
claim. The sale, however, did not
take place. and Dispatch reporter
yesterday afternoon inquired Of Deputy
Sheriff Winston the reason why. He
said Mr.. Dodson claimed that the de-
cision on which Judge Wellford relied
applied only to treasurers, and that
it was not applicable to Mr..
Brownells case at all, and that
if the sale Of his goods was made he
would bring suit against the Sheriff Tor
illegally seizing his goods and selling
them. This being the case Mr..
Winston, with counsel, on Thurs
day appeared before the Board
of Indemnity to ascertain il they
would bind themselves to indem-
Nifty him against future loss. He said,
for instance, Judge Bond might in
| struct the jury to find for the defend
ant. The case might be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
and the lower court reversed and dI-
| rected to give different instructions in
the second case. He wanted TO know
| if he would be protected should tho
case take this course.
Auditor Marye said the language OF
the act creating the Indemnity Board
was so framed as to only apply to rcve-
nue. officers, and the Sheriff not being
one such, there was some question as to
the power Of the board to enter into
the desired agreement. 1t was there
fore agreed that the matter should lie
over until the opinion OF Attorney
General Ayers, who was not present,
could be obtained.
The Sheriff is inclined to obey the
State law, but not in n manner thai
will make him amenable for damages.

THE LUMBtR.DEALiNG.
Nr. BARROW Before the Police Conri
und Admitted TO Bail.


W. ID. Marrow was before the Police
Court yesterday morning charged with
embezzling sl00, the property of
James Il. Branch. This is the young
man who, as stated yesterday, was
brought to the city Thursday. night
from Old Point by Sergeant Tomlin-
son. Edgar Allan, Esq, appeared as
counsel for the accused. When the
case was called Mr.. Branch was alb
sent, and Major Poe informed Justice
Richardson that Mr.. Branch being at
his farm in Henrico county Thursday.
the officers were not able to summon
him to court. The examination was
accordingly postponed until this morn
ing
Subsequently Mr.. Branch came in
and after hearing part OF his testlmo-
nv Justice Richardson allowed bail IN
the sum OF $500. Mr.. Branch said that
Mr.. Marrow, who had the contract for
putting up building on his
farm, came to him and said he
thought he could make little money
by paying cash for the lumber.
He (Branch) therefore drew his check
ON the Merchants National Bank for
500. He started to draw the
check in favor Of the lumber-dealer,
but Mr.. Marrow suggested that it would
be better to make the check payable to
him, so that he could purchase the lum-
Der where he could get it the cheapest.
Thinking il would be all right, he
drew the check this way. He
sent bis wagon down for the
lumber, thinking it was paid for /; but
Mr.. Gum, instead of sending the lum-
Der on Mr.. Marrow's order, came up to
see him and told him that Mr.. Marrow
had no account with him and had not
paid for the lumber. He did not know
whether the check had been presented
for payment, nor did he know whether
Mr.. Marrow had any information as to
the delivery Of the lumber.
